Tobin Center gets first concert sellout

Couldn’t nab a ticket for Jason Mraz? You can still get a Paul McCartney ticket if you have a spare $2,500.

As the Tobin Center unveiled its new signage last week, another first happened for the performing arts center: it got a concert sellout.

Jason Mraz, scheduled for the center’s opening weekend on Saturday, Sept. 6, sold out last week. Mraz’s new album, “Yes!” debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard chart last week, just behind “Weird Al” Yankovic.

Mraz tickets sold well immediately for the 1,750 seat venue, with just a few single seat and disabled access tickets left last week. Now, it’s a selloout.

A few more shows are likely to follow suit for the Tobin, as limited tickets are left for Santana (Sept. 30) and Erasure (Oct. 12.) Paul McCartney tickets for Oct. 1 have sold out at the $250 and $1,000 levels, but there are still seats available.

The venue had another concert announcement on Monday afternoon for MixFest on Sept. 25, the Mix 96.1 radio show, with Afrojack as the headliner. Tickets are $65 at www.tobincenter.org
